Quite often Disney tales are teaching important morals and such to kids so they have to dress it up with talking animals or pretty princesses to make it truly a kid's movie.
I mean, Scar murdered his brother to gain power before creating a tyranny out of the kingdom he inherited which belonged to Simba but he didn't get it because he was chased out of his kingdom by his uncle's thugs and got lost so everyone thought he was dead and then he was taken in by a couple of random guys where he then grew up completely away from his own culture and grew up believing he was the reason his father was dead. I mean, it sounds like a Lifetime drama or something.
But you make the characters into animals and add in some humor and it's a Disney movie, it's a kid's movie. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that if you take the "child" elements out of it, it could become a drama movie. I still love The Lion King and such, but I think it's only considered a kid's movie because it has talking animals.
Think of Harry Potter; everyone thinks it to be a kid's series just because it's set in a fantasy world with young protagonists but it deals with very mature concepts.
This isnt true at all. Dan Povenmire attributes the show's genesis to growing up in Mobile, Alabama, where his mother told him never to waste a day of summer. To occupy himself, Povenmire undertook projects such as hole-digging and home movie-making. Povenmire recalled, "My mom let me drape black material all the way across one end of our living room to use as a space field. I would hang little models of spaceships for these little movies I made with a Super 8 camera."[1][13][24] He was an artistic prodigy and displayed his very detailed drawings at art shows.[21] Meanwhile, Marsh grew up in a large, blended family.[15] As with Povenmire, Marsh spent his summers exploring and taking part in several different activities in order to have fun.[2] - off wikipedia. dont believe everything you read
Frankie imagined it all but I think she was autistic instead.
